Missionary of Christ the King for the Polish diaspora abroad, a graduate of the Faculty of Theology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. A theologian devoted to pastoral ministry, whose heart beats in the rhythm of the Word of God. A passionate person through and through. An optimistic catechist. She develops her love for St. Paul and his teaching on the missions, where she fulfills the charism of her congregation—specifically, by joyfully serving Polish emigrants and the local community in Athens.

Good literature and learning the Greek language have their place in the plan of every day.
